      I live in England and share a bedroom with my 2 sisters. Our room is big enough to decorate and fit us all in but we dont know how to make it look good. If anybody u know from Buzzfeed UK can help us please send them our way.

      Can you feature more rental-friendly makeover options? For example, the contact paper was a great tip, and I’ll be trying it out myself. I’d love to see more tricks to make a ho-hum rental space something beautiful, but landlord (and budget) friendly.

    i like the look but i really do think more research in terms of technical stuff need to be done by her. something as simple as putting a painter's tape should not even be in question. i think it's focusing more on the aesthetic than the actual functionality of the space, the open cupboard does make it LOOK more appealing and open up the space, but the FUNCTIONALITY AND MAINTENANCE is going to be horrid, instead, a glass door can be an option. I dunno, this show is almost there, but not quite yet in my opinion.

      I hate the open shelving concept... I don't want my dishes totally exposed to dust and summer time bugs, like house flies.
      Also, I think the biggest improvement that 'could' have been made to that kitchen was (if possible) just reverse the door swing on that fridge!
      If it opened with the door swinging towards the wall and thus out of the way ,it would be a lot easier to get things to and from the fridge to the counter that's to the left of the fridge.

    The stovetop cover is brilliant & such a great addition to a small kitchen (I'd love one!). And the addition of contact paper made a nice background in the cabinets & overhauled the countertop! Definitely less expensive than a new one, lol!

      I hate them! Doors keep dust out (and insects who get in in the summer) and hide things you don't want to look at all the time (like the stuff she hid behind the nice jars). I can appreciate the look but in terms of practicality, no way

      I am with you. Open cabinets only work if you have a good organizational system you are willing to maintain it with your cookware, utensils, dishes, food and other items. But if you are like me, I am able to keep my place clean because I throw a lot of my junk in cabinets and closets to hide them. Having open cabinets would give my secret away. 😳

      Dust, oil in the air from cooking - doors keep it all out.

    Well done!!! Suggestion: Buy or have Chris make a small table for the microwave to go on top of. Honestly, just buy a small table at a flea market, paint it a fab color that Vaughn loves. Could also buy a small cabinet at a flea market, paint it, put casters/wheels on it & have more space for hiding stuff inside the cabinet & put the microwave on top.

      I am so glad someone else noticed this. Not only will the contact paper stain and lift off edges, but you can''t cut anything (food) on the contact covered counter top or it will slice through the adhesive paper. Any nicks or dings on the surface will enlarge over time. This was a really bad idea. Not durable/ nor sanitary at all.

      @mundanepants 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@grottoserpentina9342 And wont it leave residue when it's peeled off? So with the wood cabinets, you'll have to sand and revarnish them after you take the contact paper off. So you might've as well painted them in the first place.

      Grotto Serpentina You also shouldn't be directly cutting on the paper. You shouldn't even directly cut on normal countertops. Knives can ruin countertops, and depending on what you are cutting there could be cross contamination. You should always use a cutting board.
